The results of a 20-year study published in the BMJ finds that 1 in 10 of all antibiotic prescriptions mua nấm lim xanh quảng nam fail to treat the infection. This marks an increase in the number of antibiotic failures, which is continuing to rise.

The results of the study show that overall antibiotic failures rose from 13.9% in 1991 to 15.4% in 2012.

Over the past 20 years, there has been such a sharp increase in strains of microbes that are resistant to antibiotics that the World Health Organization have declared the issue a global public health crisis.

Despite this, primary care clinicians rarely report problems of antibiotic resistance in their own practices.

"Both primary care clinicians and members of the public typically regard antibiotic resistance as a problem that largely affects patients in hospital," write the researchers behind the new study, from Cardiff University in the UK.

Although many previous studies have assessed antibiotic resistance in hospitals, according to the Cardiff team, experts know "virtually nothing" about the frequency and pattern of antibiotic resistance in primary care.

The new study gathered data on antibiotic treatment failure rates in UK primary care. nấm lim xanh có tác dụng gì The researchers say that the UK is one of the few countries where it is possible to access appropriate data for assessing failure of antibiotic prescriptions, because of the way data is recorded in its National Health Service.

Data was drawn from the Clinical Practice Research Datalink, which stores the records of more than 14 million individuals, obtained from 700 primary care practices across the UK.

The Cardiff team analyzed data from 1991-2012 and focused on the four most common kinds of infection:

Upper respiratory tract infections
Lower respiratory tract infections
Skin and soft tissue infections
Acute otitis media.

Failure rates rose over study period and will continue to rise

The results show that overall antibiotic failures rose from 13.9% in 1991 to 15.4% in 2012. Antibiotics prescribed to treat bronchitis, pneumonia and other lower respiratory tract infections were found to be the least su
